Genoverse is a JavaScript and HTML5 genome browser that lets users explore genomic data interactively in the browser.
It’s portable, customizable, and back-end independent, making it suitable for embedding in web applications that need to visualize genomic regions, annotations, and sequence-related data from a range of sources.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports multiple genomics data formats including JSON, BED, BAM, VCF, GFF, delimited text files, and XML.
- Installs from npm and can be embedded directly in web pages or imported into webpack-based applications.
- Uses a track-based architecture with separate models, views, and controllers for flexible display and interaction.
- Allows tracks to switch between different displays at different zoom levels for broad and detailed genome inspection.
- Includes plugins for tasks such as track management, per-track controls, and drag and drop loading of local data files.
